    Almodóvar is a product of the time when Almodóvar has not yet escaped mysticism. Now it seems that although the script is still excellent, the theme is rather ambiguous. It focuses too much on the appearance and simulation of mysticism and symbolism, but ignores the essence of the work. But for Almodovar, Spain's half of the sky, it is always worth...

    I just watched Crash not long ago, and now I'm watching this one again. I'm really flattered and overjoyed to see two excellent, pornographic and violent films in such a short period of time.
